How does your body make you listen?

As I’ve spent a frustrating few days in bed getting over a bad back flare up, I decided to spend the time wisely. Studying the next lesson in the health apprenticeship that I’m on, all about the Biochemistry of Inflammation. Oh, the irony!

Now I’m a great believer in not suffering unduly, so I’d been to the GP and got some medication to ease my pain and inflammation. Perhaps you’re someone who prefers to opt for more natural cures.

What I wonder though, is how often you stop and ask yourself- why is the body inflaming?

And of course, how can I stop it happening again?

I won’t try to sum up the whole lesson in a post but there were certainly some likely culprits I recognised in my own life.

One of the factors that I see time and time again in my clients is stress- emotional, physical and environmental. It’s so easy to chalk it down to a fact of modern life and battle through. Yet both in my training and the excellent o Why Zebra’s Don’t get Ulcers by Robert M. Sapolsky I’ve been finding out the impact stress has right down to the cellular level which means no part of our body is unaffected.

As someone who’s recently got married (Yay!) and had a small operation (not so yay!) It’s no wonder my body has been stressed, especially with the resultant exercise ban (my go to de stressor) following surgery.

So, for me it’s all about getting back on track going forward- doing the exercise that I can, getting enough sleep, hydrating myself properly and ensuring my body is getting all the nutrients it needs.

Not exciting, not an instant magic pill but one that’s available to us all!

Are you chewing properly?

It’s not the most exciting of topics I grant you, but it really is important if you’re serious about losing weight and improving your digestion.

So many of us wolf our food down whilst watching the TV, sat at our desk or playing on our phones.

No wonder we end up feeling boated, gassy and end up overeating.

Our mouths need time to break down our food using the powerful enzymes at their disposal.
Paul Mckenna in his books talks of 20 chews per mouthful-yes really!
The more we can break it down in our mouths the easier it is on our poor stomach and the rest of our digestive tract.

Then there’s what’s going on in our brains.

It takes about 20 minutes or so for us to register the food that we’ve eaten and notice that we are full. So, if you’re gobbling that meal down in 10 minutes flat, you’re likely to overeat and end up feeling stuffed.

The trick is to use all your senses. Savour the taste, texture, smell and colour of every mouth full. Truly enjoy every mouthful as if you were at some fancy expensive restaurant and want to make each mouthful last as long as possible.
Ask yourself after each quarter of the plate- am I still hungry?
If you have the slightest doubt that you are not, it’s time to stop.
Food is plentiful and you can always eat again later when you’re hungry. You’re an adult now and its high time you resigned from clean plate club. As I say to my clients, once that food is on the plate it’s wasted, and you can either waste the leftovers in the bin or on your waist. It’s what you and your body deserve!

Hi there. Geraldine here, hypnotherapist and health coach at hypnoswellbeing.com.

I'm dispelling some of those common myths people have about hypnotherapy and hypnosis.
This is a great one. Is it a magical power? Am I Harry Potter?
No! It's a natural thing that you do and I'm guiding you to the process. Hypnotherapy is a natural state.
It's something that arises from within, the same way that we can awake, we can be in a sleep and we have a whole lot of states in between.
We call them anecdotally trance states but all it is is that conscious awake brain powering down and therefore, I can access with you that deeper part of your brain, that subconscious where you're running all the programs that help you or hinder you.
So, it's not something that I'm doing to you. It's something that I'm guiding you to do to yourself.
It's not me waving a wand magically, some mystical power that I have. It's really far more boring and far more effective than that.
So, yes. No magical powers. No Harry Potter involved here.
So, if you want to know more about how this natural but effective stuff can help you, drop me a line.
Drop me a message. Let's have a chat. Let's plan something. Let's do something.
Let's create that change that you want in your life once and for all.

Hi, Geraldine here, hypnotherapist and health coach at hypnoswellbeing.com. I'm dispelling some of these myths people have about hypnotherapy, and this is a great one.
Can you get stuck in hypnosis?

No!

I've never had someone stuck in hypnotic state that has never been able to come out of it, because it's a natural state.
It's just like sleep, you will eventually come round, you'll eventually wake up. And this is really reassuring for people, especially those that I see via Skype, via Zoom. If for some reason the connection was to go down, then you simply in time, very quickly return to the wake state.
You can't get stuck there. You can't get trapped there, the same way you can't get trapped in sleep.
Your body will revert itself to an awake state.

Your body and your mind look after you and your protection, keep you safe at all times, so don't worry, you can't get stuck. I won't leave you there for hours and go off and have a cup of tea. You will very quickly when I stop talking to you, if I were to leave you unattended, which I would never do, or stop using suggestions in a hypnotic state, you'll simply revert to a wake state gradually and easily, and beautifully refreshed. So, please don't worry, you can't get stuck.

If you want to find out more how you can go into hypnotic state, and come out again, and how I can help you with that and make a whole lot of stuff and effective stuff down there

Simply, drop me a line, drop me a message, we can have a chat and go from there.

Hi Geraldine here, hypnotherapist and health coach Hypnoswellbeing.com. Answering some of your questions about hypnotherapy and hypnosis. And here's a common one. Only weak minded people, suggestible people can go in to trace state.

NO

It doesn't matter if you think of yourself as someone who's very suggestible. It doesn't matter if you think you're someone who's oh so clever and I can resist this. Most People can simply and easily go into a trance state, because it's something that they do all the time.
As I said previously, it's something we have the ability to do when we're driving, when watching television, we power down and go in to a trance state.
It isn't the mark of intelligence, it isn't a mark of suggestibility, it's simply a skill that we have, and you can get better at. And the more that you do it, the easier it becomes.

But as a hypnotherapist and I'd like to think a good hypnotherapist, I can flex the style and the way that I get you in to that trance state, that's right just for you. There are many different ways of doing it, many tools that I have at my disposal.
So no, it's no reflection on you.
And in fact, the brighter, more creative, intelligent people, create amazing visual pictures when they're in trance state.
But if you're not a visual creative person, and I'm not, then you still can amazingly go in to trance state through the use of words, through the use of suggestions, through the use of ideas that I put in to your brain.
It all works and there's many different ways of doing it.
So it doesn't matter if you're not visual, if you're not creative or if you're not suggestible, this stuff will still work for you.
And if you want to find out more about it, if you're intriguing, if you're curious, if you want to change, drop me a line, drop me a message and let's have a chat about how we can get to be that best version of you.

Hi everyone, Geraldine here, hypnotherapist and health coach at hypnoswellbeing.com.
Dispelling some of those common myths people have about hypnotherapy and hypnosis.
So this is a common one, can everyone be hypnotized?
And I always say well everyone who is willing to be, can be. If you're going to go on in there and fight and be determined not to go into that trans state, I kind of question why you come to see me in the first place and hopefully we never get to that state as we'll have a phone call with you first to sort this all out.

But yes, if you go and you're willing to go along with it, then you can easily be hypnotized. It is just like sleep though of course, some people go into deep sleep, some people go into light sleep, but we all sleep and are refreshed by it.
And that's the same with hypnotherapy. You don't have to be someone who goes into a deep, deep trance. You can be someone who goes into a light trance and yet this stuff still works.
We can still have amazing transformation and it will work for you.
One of the favorite expressions I heard about going into a trance state is true. Everyone of moderate intelligence can go into a trance state. So if you think yourself of average intelligence, or above average then this is for you.
And I say that very tongue and cheek, but honestly there are very few people that I've met, in fact I've never met anyone as a client who can't be hypnotized and go into a trance state.
So, if you want to learn more, now that I've put that fear to rest, give me a call, drop me a message, and find out how I can help use this power to transform your life and your behaviors and your habits that are annoying you and need sorting once and for all.

Hi, everyone. Geraldine here, hypnotherapist and health coach at HypnosWellbeing.com, dispelling some of the common myths about hypnotherapy. Number two, hypnotherapy is dangerous. In a word NO

There are some people certainly I wouldn't want to hypnotize, and there are certain that's encouraged to seek permission from their doctor, and I would always do so.
Certain psychiatric conditions, certain people with fits, certain medication can make you very drowsy and you'd simply fall asleep.
And all of those people I would reluctantly would turn away or get permission and find out more from their doctor first. But dangerous? No.
It's a natural process to go into hypnosis and trance states. We do it all of the time.
When you're driving your brain powers down, you might have traveled a long journey and wondered how you got there because you don't remember large sections of it.
That's your brain just naturally going into a trance state.
It's like going into screensaver mode.
We do it all of the time.
Hypnotherapy is powerful, and it's effective, but it's utilizing a natural state that you have the ability to do. It's not some special thing that I'm doing to you. It's not dangerous. It's not power over you or anything like that. Please don't worry, no harm can come to you.
And as I say, if you're one of the people who are unusually not suitable for hypnosis, I will be up front and I will tell you as any good hypnotherapist would who signs a code of conduct with various bodies as I do.
If you'd like to find out more to see if this stuff is for you and how I can help you, why not drop me a line, drop me a message

Hi. Geraldine here, hypnotherapist and health coach at hypnoswellbeing.com. I thought I'd do a series of short videos about some of the common myths about hypnosis.

My response is always,

Hi. Geraldine here, hypnotherapist and health coach at hypnoswellbeing.com. I thought I'd do a series of short videos about some of the common myths about hypnosis. Number one, can I make you cluck like a chicken? My response is always, "Do you want to cluck like a chicken?", because people think that I can make them do what they don't want to do, that I have some secret power of them that I can make them do all these weird and wonderful things. Simply not true. I'd be living in my mansion with a whole host of slaves feeding me grapes and fanning me at this very point. No. Your brain always looks after you and protects you. It always ensures that anything that I suggest is going to be serving you and a higher good, your greater good. If I suggest to you to jump out the window, do something that harms you, or it goes against your natural instinct, something that is no good for you, your brain will reject it. All those people that you see up on stage on these stage shows, which is completely different from hypnotherapy and clinical hypnotherapy, are there because they want to be there. There's a part of them that want to have the freedom and this permission to be exhibitionists with the excuse that afterwards they can just forget it all. Their brain has given them permission to be that exhibitionist. This is so different from what we do in the clinical setting. There, I'm here to help you with what you want, to work on the problem that you've presented with. Very few people present with a need to want to cluck like a chicken! Please don't worry. I can't make you do anything that you don't want to do. Your secret silent watcher, as we call it, that part of your brain that protects you deep down, will always reject anything that goes against what serves you, what protects you, and what keeps you safe. There you are, one of the myths dispelled. If you want to know more about how hypnotherapy can help you with things that you really want, drop me a message. I'd love to talk to you. #Hertfordshire #stalbanslife #stalbans #hoddesdon #likeaboss
